Direct Client-to-External System calls via OpenID Connect
Enable connect Apps built on Novacura Flow Connect to communicate directly to external systems (e.g., IFS Cloud or other REST-based services) when the external system supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) for client authentication.
This will allow secure, client-only communication, reducing dependency on the Flow Connect Cloud for certain REST API calls and improving performance by eliminating unnecessary round trips through the cloud.
Business Value
Performance: Reduce latency by avoiding cloud roundtrip.
Scalability: Offload traffic from the Flow Connect cloud.
Security: Leverage OpenID Connect’s standardized authentication and token handling.
Scope
Applicable only for Mobile & windows clients (assuming it will not work for web clients due to COARS issues)
Supported only for external systems with OIDC and HTTPS endpoints
